More to come!!!

Mike! Long time, no see! Wow the flow in this tank is going to be incredible. The rockwork looks good too.

Mr. Tang · 08-29-2008, 09:53 PM

Thanks Carmie

The flow is really great. The ominflex nozzles from oceans motion can work with the ball valves opened all the way..But my 45 degree elbows in the back of the tank need to be turned down a bit. Running wide open causes the water the shoot out of the tank. Wait til I post pics of the LR with the lights on....And to tell the truth, there's only 11 rocks in the tank!! I got one rock in the center weighs 40lbs. It's eva tonga rock. Got it from Bryant(The Fishroom).. Been there yet Carmie???? Totally awesome store...

No I haven't been up to his store yet but I have been following the build on CFT. I probably won't have time until after MACNA.

MR T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the heck are you! I am soooo glad someone finally unlocked that door and let you out. J/K

You've been on the TRMIA list for a while and sorely missed. I'm glad you're back. I am highly impressed with everything that you've accomplished, looks spectacular.

Last time I read your thread you were getting ready to drill your tank. With the sump and all, what total volume are you shooting now? I'd give my right arm to have the space for a sump that large!

Dave1NC · 08-29-2008, 10:35 PM

I like the the Oceans Motions and design of your tank. I'm sure you are excited to get some critters in there soon.

Mr. Tang · 08-29-2008, 10:47 PM

Skurvey Dog Early parole!!! Thanks for the kind words!! I have been away for a while and am glad to be back! The total gallonage o the entire system when completed will be 325 gallons. The DT is 150 and the sump is a 120 but it's only filled half way. So like 60 gallons. But here's the fun part....The fishwall!!!! IT will go on the right side of the sump

I think you can see the writing on the wall. There's two 30 gallon breeder's and one 55 gallon. The breeders will be for coral propagation and the 55 will be for my refugium. But haven't hd time as of yet to get the steel stand for that built. It's going to be tricky though because at the top of the 55, it will be like 7' tall....

You are an extremist! From pictos to this! J/K You did a great job on both.

Talk about a piece of the ocean. :-)

The store looks nice and I like his graphics. It is just down the road for you. Me, I have to pack a lunch to go up to 540.

Great pics...I'm really pumped up about seeing your OM set up, as we will be doing a similar set up.

Did you get the plumbing parts [valves, elbows, etc] as part of the order from OM?

You should send your pic to Paul so it can be seen as a great example of an installation of their product.

Mr. Tang · 08-30-2008, 11:09 PM

The rock in the center is believe it or not one rock!! 40 lbs. It's a brute.

**CarmieJo** · 08-31-2008, 01:57 AM
